Images of the new passport were shared with The Bulwark on condition that it not publish them. According to the source, a government official who provided The Bulwark with color photographs of the redesign, the State Department is planning a “limited run” of 25,000 Trump-emblazoned passports. As of now, according to the source, the new design is still awaiting approval.

    My bet is this is either a soft launch before they just use this one for all passports (discouraging left of center people from getting it) or a way to encourage old MAGA people who have never considered traveling to get proof of citizenship. Either way, it’s about voting and citizenship checks, not just ego.

    They want to immortalize this guy so badly.

    Too bad he’s pretty much a corpse who hasn’t realized he expired some time ago.

    What a perfectly normal thing for a regular president to do.

    Surely people see why this shit is fucking nuts right? Imagine if Obama went out of his way to “troll” his detractors like this…m

    Shit, looks like I will be renewing my passport a few months early. Can I put on the application that I am renewing it early because I don’t want to carry around Trump’s picture for the next 10 years?
